Stunning Zombie film and an amazing image of post apocalyptic Britain

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2004)

This film presents a stunning image of post apocalyptic Britain, and has got to be the best modern horror film of the new millennium. Brilliant almost on a par with George Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. One criticism is that it does require multiple viewings to fully appreciate. While the film is engaging on the first watch it is not an instant classic.
*Minor Spoiler*
The cinematography in the opening scene, as Jim walks through a deserted London and the music escalates from nothing to an almost deafening roar the effect is really quite impressive, watching Jim walk through a deserted city and slowly coming to realise that the world he knew has gone is amazing.
Finally, as with all good zombie movies, this film is more about the people and how they deal with the situation rather than actually being about zombies
